Abstract
An improved fibrous pellet for oral applications is disclosed herein. The fibrous pellet has improved physical and mechanical properties due to an improved manufacturing method that produces a more uniform and structurally sound fibrous pellet compared with the prior art. The fibrous pellet described herein may be configured for intra-oral delivery of active substances as well as the intra-oral absorption of fluids.
Claims20
A fibrous pellet comprising a plurality of fibers generally oriented linearly relative to the X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis of the pellet.
A method of manufacturing a fibrous pellet, the method comprising:
- carding a fiber to generate aligned fibers,
- cross-lapping the aligned fibers to create a layered substrate,
- bonding the layered substrate to create bonded substrate, and
- die-cutting the bonded substrate into pellets.
A fibrous pellet formed by the process of carding a fiber to generate aligned fibers,
- cross-lapping the aligned fibers to create a layered substrate,
- bonding the layered substrate to create bonded substrate, and
- die-cutting the bonded substrate into pellets.
